Numbers, not “unlimited”
Every resource on the plan is a published figure. When you hit a limit you will have known it existed since before signup.
Shared Hosting
Shared hosting with the limits published
Shared hosting is the right product for most websites — when the host tells you what you are actually getting. Every limit on this plan is a published number. 30 days free, then £0.99 a month.
Exactly what “free” means here
- Free for 30 days. A full hosting account with nothing held back — no feature restrictions during the trial.
- No card details required to start. You can sign up and run your site for the whole 30 days without giving us any payment information.
- Nothing can be charged automatically, because we have nothing to charge. Payment details are only taken if you decide to continue.
- Then £0.99/month if you choose to carry on. That is the ongoing price — it does not rise after the first year.
- No setup fee and no hidden charges of any kind.
- You bring your own domain. Traxio does not sell domain names, so you will need one you already own or register elsewhere.
The honest version
What shared hosting is — and how it gets sold
Shared hosting has a reputation problem it mostly does not deserve. The model — many isolated accounts on one well-run server — is what makes hosting cost pounds instead of hundreds, and for a typical small site it leaves most of its capacity idle. The bad reputation comes from how it is sold: “unlimited” everything bounded by a fair-use clause on page nine, intro prices that double at renewal, and support that appears only in the sales column of the comparison table.
Our answer is not a better superlative; it is numbers. The specification page publishes the storage, bandwidth, database, mailbox and process limits this plan actually enforces — so you can decide whether it fits your site before you have invested anything in finding out. A host that publishes real figures is telling you more than one that publishes an impossible one.
NVMe underneath
Fast storage helps most where shared hosting is busiest: database-backed sites like WordPress and forums. Where it matters, honestly.
DirectAdmin, the real panel
Full DirectAdmin — not a cut-down custom dashboard. File manager, DNS editor, databases, cron, PHP selector. A tour for the unfamiliar.
One plan, no ladder
There is no “Pro” tier this plan exists to upsell you toward. One product, fully specified, £0.99.
Email included
Mailboxes on your domain with the deliverability records available — not unbundled into a separate monthly charge.
Easy in, easy out
Standard cPanel-class tooling means standard migrations. Moving here — or away — is a mechanical afternoon, as it should be.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is shared hosting, in one paragraph?
One server, many customers, each in an isolated account — the economics that make £1–£10-a-month hosting possible. You get a slice of CPU, memory and storage plus a control panel; the host runs the machine. For the overwhelming majority of blogs, portfolios and small business sites it is the right product, and paying for more is paying for headroom you will not use. The full explainer covers how the model works.
What are Traxio's actual resource limits?
Published, not adjectives: the specification page lists storage, bandwidth, databases, mailboxes and process limits as numbers. We would rather you rule us out honestly than sign up on “unlimited” and discover the fair-use clause later.
Will other customers on the server slow my site down?
Per-account resource isolation limits how much any one account can take, which contains the classic noisy-neighbour problem for normal workloads. What shared hosting cannot promise is dedicated capacity — that is what VPS pricing buys. If your site outgrows a shared account you will see it in resource stats before visitors feel it.
When is shared hosting the wrong answer?
Sustained high traffic, heavy background jobs, applications wanting root access or their own services (Discourse, for instance, needs its own server), or anything where a resource cap being reached costs you real money per minute. If none of that describes your site, shared is not a compromise — it is the correctly-sized tool.
Can I run more than one website?
The plan hosts your domain plus subdomains; the published spec lists the exact allowances. If you are running several distinct sites, the honest answer may be one account each or a different product — ask in the forum and we will tell you which, including when the answer is not us.
